Iv used one for 30 min then went back to my other saw but I liked it
I see, so you would recommend a 260 for getting all the way through 20" beech wood?

2x the time **** that it will pull the 20Exactly, with a 13 " bar from both sides.
If Stihl has it on there recommend bar sizes it’s gonna be fineWhat ever you want mate, 261 does a 16" good, it does not do a 20" good.

Are you saying to eliminate any guess work?
70cc's to pull a 20" bar!?!?! lmao
261 will pull 20" in hard wood all day long. I've done it.
Unless you're trying to be at a super high production rate to make money, a 261 is plenty for cutting firewood.
Don’t forget there is the real world and the chainsaw forum world, where bigger is always better.
Yes, it's the most famous chainsaw in the world, very potent. But if you're entering the 20" realm you're going to loose.

I change my vote.
@OP you need an 880 OR a 3120 and nothing smaller will suffice. Might want to even look into a custom built hot saw if you're really serious about 20" of hard wood.

I vote for 18" standard .325 with RM or Oregon BPX chain. I haven't had the pleasure of running a 261 but I'm sure it's every bit as capable as my 346 or 545. Both of those are 50 cc. I've cut logs around 16"-18" with both without issue. Firewood seems to be a very loose definition these days. To some people its 8-12" with an occasional big 20" and to others its 20" regularly.
